Assistant Needed

Hello all, something I’ve been holding back on for a while now has been the search for an assistant. Not just because of my own experiences as an assistant several years ago but also I’m not particularly fond of employing people without pay, especially given the current economic climate.
Alas, after great deliberation and much good advice from friends I’ve decided to opt to take on an assistant, or intern if you will, to join me on my photographic adventures. So here we go:
I’m going to need someone who is available to work on 2-3 shoots per month on a voluntary basis. Though I can’t offer any money what you will gain is great first-hand experience and a chance to build your contacts in the industry for your future. These contacts will include model agencies, stylists, magazines, designers, make-up artists and other photographers. You will also, no doubt, pick up photographic, lighting, make-up and design techniques if you are so inclined.
You should be based in London, be able to drive and have access to your own vehicle for transport to and from locations. I have to say that the position pretty much pivots on these two needs for obvious reasons.
That’s pretty much it on the technical side of things. It probably goes without saying that this position is for someone who is set on making a future for themselves in the fashion industry.
If you’re interested in the position and think you fit the bill or you just need more info please email me at me@ellenrogers.co.uk and we’ll go from there.
